Message for Money Grasping Politicians

I remember the cheese of my childhood,
And the bread that we cut with a knife,
When the children helped with the housework,
And the men went to work not the wife.

The cheese never needed a fridge,
And the bread was so crusty and hot
The children were seldom unhappy
And the wife was content with her lot.

I remember the milk from the bottle,
With the yummy cream on the top,
Our dinner came hot from the oven,
And not from the fridge; in the shop.
The kids were a lot more contented,
They didn’t need money for kicks,
Just a game with their mates in the road,
And sometimes the Saturday flicks.

I remember the shop on the corner,
Where a pen’orth of sweets was sold
Do you think I’m a bit too nostalgic?
Or is it…I’m just getting old?

I remember the ‘loo’ was the lav
And the bogey man came in the night,
It wasn’t the least bit funny
Going “out back” with no light.

The interesting items we perused
From the newspapers cut into squares,
And hung on a peg in the loo,
It took little to keep us amused.

The clothes were boiled in the copper
With plenty of rich foamy suds
But the ironing seemed never ending
As Mum pressed everyone’s ‘duds’.

I remember the slap on my backside,
And the taste of soap if I swore
Anorexia and diets weren’t heard of
And we hadn’t much choice what we wore.

Do you think that bruised our ego?
Or our initiative was destroyed?
We ate what was put on the table
And I think life was better enjoyed.

1.WHY IS THE AIRPORTS BOARD OPERATING IN CONTRAVENTION OF THE FIJI PUBLIC ENTERPRISES ACT
2. WHY HAS A MAJOR PORTION OF NADI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT MERCHANDISING AREA BEEN ALLOTTED TO TWO COMPANIES WITHOUT THE BOARD SEEKING NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL TENDERS.
3. WHY HAS THE AGREED RENTAL NOT BEEN PUBLISHED, AIRPORT FIJI LTD IS A PUBLIC OWNED COMPANY AND THE OWNERS HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW.
4. WHY DO ALL THE SMALL TENANTS HAVE TO SUBMIT TENDERS FOR RENEWAL AND WHY ARE THE TWO MAJOR OPERATORS WHO DID NOT HAVE COMPETITIVE TENDERS FOR THEIR FLOOR SPACE, BEING ALLOWED TO NOW BID AGAINST THE SMALLER OPERATORS.
5. WHY IS GOVERNMENT ALLOWING THIS TO HAPPEN ????

A PICTURE OF HOT AIR AND UNSUBSTANTIATED ALLEGATIONS
This Gang of Five attempted to suspend counting of ballot papers in contravention of the Electoral Decree.

They claim that they will not accept the results of the count…Does this mean they will not send their elected members to parliament.?

In eight years Frank has gone from Coup Leader to Politician and now has the opportunity to become a Statesman.

The question is “Will he clean up his administrations act and achieve this”?

Statesmanship cannot be achieved by riding on a skateboard that is being pushed by his faithful henchman, a skateboard that has had its wheels greased by cronyism, corruption and lack of transparency, a skateboard that Frank has no control of and will surely fall off when the wheels lock up.

Now is the time to get off that Skateboard Frank. You have been given a clear mandate by the majority of the people of Fiji.

NOW IS THE TIME TO BE A STATESMAN FRANK
